Available on cable TV in the US and to a worldwide audience online at IndiMusic.TV, this show is just different. All of the other current talent shows (American Idol, The Voice, X Factor, America’s Got Talent) mostly ask, or at least encourage, their participants to cover other people’s songs in order for their judges to be able to best find a new singing star. Do I Have A Hit Song? looks beneath the surface and searches for the best ORIGINAL songwriters. Orlando, FL based Songwriter Ashley Baker was the winner of episode one, and will be going on through to the next stage. Check her out at http://www.ashleybaker.net/

Episode 2 will have a special guest co-host, 80s hit writer Tommy Tutone (Jenny 867-5309), joining the show’s host and presenter, Drew Copeland of band Sister Hazel – who had a number one US hit himself with “All for You”.

Artists can still submit their new songs for upcoming episodes (video or mp3 format)! Voting for Episode 2 is currently open until January 2nd and voting for Episode 3 will begin on January 3rd. Episode 3 will have special guest co host Ryan Star (Hit song “Stay A While”, Rockstar Supernova on TV) www.rstar.net

The show gives artists a unique opportunity to publicize their music and get it distributed to the world, and with more and more television viewers migrating to online services, the number of potential viewers only looks set to rise further.

Other supporters of the show, pleased to endorse a format looking for long term talent as opposed to simply a good vocalist, include Episode One co host Eliot Sloan – founder of Blessid Union of Souls who had hits with ‘I Believe’ and ‘Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me), and also involved with the production of the show. Darius Rucker (Hootie and the Blowfish), Javier Colon (winner of ‘The Voice’ in the US in 2011), Terry Nails (Ozzy Osbourne) and songwriter Edwin McCain.
